Mindfulness Counselling in Perth & Fremantle

Psychotherapy doesn’t just give you some short term coping strategies, it aims to get to the roots of what is holding you back, and to create lasting change, enabling you to live a fuller life.

After many years of exploring different disciplines, Ajay found that working somatically, through the felt sense of the body, is a very powerful way to approach therapy. It includes the mind, the emotions and the body, so it is a very holistic and deep way of working. This helps us to grapple with the core issues of our life in a profound way and to live to our full potential.

Ajay has trained in various approaches, including Hakomi psychotherapy which is a Mindfulness Based Somatic (Body) Psychotherapy. These approaches inform the development of a personalised program matched to your individual needs.

Embarking on psychotherapy, I like to give you some coping strategies to give some immediate relief form the stresses of life.

Therapy need not go on for years. The aim is that trauma and our limiting beliefs do not have to be a life sentence, and that we can relatively quickly resolve the issues that confront us.

Tailoring a session to your needs, Ajay uses a range of proven counselling techniques to support you in your life. This can mean brief therapy, psychological education, or in depth psychotherapy. Often emotions and events can seem overwhelming or we can feel stuck and unable to see a way forward. In brief therapy Ajay will show you tools that you can use in daily life to help with challenging situations and emotions. 

We will also look at your core beliefs, for instance “I’m not good enough” or “I’ll never get what I need or want in life” and learn to change them to more supportive beliefs. Using simple mindfulness techniques we can gain a lot of clarity and the ability to harness our emotional responses in a useful way rather than feeling swamped by them. This allows us to move through life with more ease and joy.
